There is always something new and interesting to learn in every lecture. The course presenters are generous with industry tips and tricks. I feel like an expert already!

Thank you so much for a very memorable Interior Decorating course.  I thoroughly enjoyed every Saturday morning with you ladies and yes…. I can truly admit to enjoying the homework portion too.  In having said that, I am extremely eager to put the all knowledge I have gained to practice in our home and hopefully (holding thumbs) followed by an exciting career in decorating.  Here is to a great new “Chapter” in my life. I would definitely recommend your course to anyone who has the same interest.

I have enjoyed the decor course at Chapters Interiors very much, every class and presentation was a new challenge and opportunity for me to learn and grow. My tutor was incredible and took the time to make sure that everyone understood. Her support and advice has assisted me on how to deal with clients and approach different situations in real life, which has given me the confidence to realise my dream of having a creative, fulfilling career as an Interior designer. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a great platform to start from and to anyone who is curious and creative about interior design.

The course was very informative and most importantly very practical. The old adage of “you get what you put in” truly applied. The course material was rich, relevant and professionally delivered. The ideas presented were excellent and the materials were well organized. I especially liked the way the practical exercises were used to reinforce our learning of the concepts and our ability to retain and actually apply what we learned.
